Isaiah 30
1 Woe to the rebellious sons, says Jehovah, who take counsel, but not of me, and who make a league, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,
Ve de genstridige Børn så lyder det fra HERREN som fuldbyrder Råd, der ej er fra mig, slutter Forbund, uden min Ånd er med, for at dynge Synd på Synd,
2 who set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth, to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!
de, som går ned til Ægypten uden at spørge min Mund for at værne sig ved Faraos Værn, søge Ly i Ægyptens Skygge!
3 Therefore the strength of Pharaoh shall be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
Faraos Værn skal blive jer til Skam og Lyet i Ægyptens Skygge til Skændsel.
4 For their rulers are at Zoan, and their ambassadors have come to Hanes.
Thi er end hans Fyrster i Zoan, hans Sendebud nået til Hanes,
5 They shall all be ashamed because of a people who cannot profit them, who are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
enhver skal få Skam af et Folk, der ikke kan bringe dem Hjælp, ej være til Gavn eller Hjælp, men kun til Skam og Skændsel.
6 The burden of the beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, from where come the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures upon the humps of camels, to a people who shall not profit them.
Et Udsagn om Sydlandets Dyr: Gennem Angstens og Trængselens Land, hvor Løvinde og Løve har hjemme, Giftsnog og vinget Slange, fører de på Æslers Ryg deres Gods, på Kamelers Pukkel deres Skatte til et Folk, der ikke kan hjælpe.
7 For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose. Therefore I have called her Rahab who sits still.
Ægyptens Hjælp er Vind og Luft. Derfor kalder jeg det "Rahab, der hytter sig."
8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it on a scroll, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.
Gå nu hen og skriv det på en Tavle i deres Påsyn og optegn det i en Bog, at det i kommende Tider kan stå som Vidnesbyrd evindelig.
9 For it is a rebellious people, lying sons, sons who will not hear the law of Jehovah,
Thi det er et stivsindet Folk, svigefulde Børn, Børn, der ikke vil høre HERRENs Lov,
10 who say to the seers, Do not see, and to the prophets, Do not prophesy to us right things. Speak to us smooth things. Prophesy deceits.
som siger til Seerne: "Se ingen Syner!" til fremsynte: "Skuer os ikke det rette! Tal Smiger til os, skuer os Blændværk,
11 Get you out of the way. Turn aside out of the path. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
vig bort fra Vejen, bøj af fra Stien, lad os være i Fred for Israels Hellige!"
12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it,
Derfor, så siger Israels Hellige: Siden I ringeagter dette Ord og stoler på krumt og kroget og støtter jer til det,
13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant.
derfor skal denne Brøde blive for eder som en truende, voksende Revne i en knejsende Mur, hvis Fald vil indtræffe brat, lige i et Nu;
14 And he shall break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing, so that there shall not be found among the pieces of it a shard with which to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.
den sønderbrydes som Lerkar; der skånselsløst knuses; blandt Stumperne finder man ikke et Skår, hvori man kan hente en Glød fra Bålet eller øse Vand af Brønden.
15 For thus said the lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, Ye shall be saved in returning and rest. Your strength shall be in quietness and in confidence. And ye would not,
Thi således sagde den Herre HERREN, Israels Hellige: Ved Omvendelse og Stilhed skal I frelses, i Ro og Tillid er eders Styrke.
16 but ye said, No, for we will flee upon horses. Therefore ye shall flee. And ye said, We will ride upon the swift. Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.
Men I vilde ikke; I sagde: "Nej, vi jager på Heste" I skal derfor jages!"Vi rider på Rapfod" I skal derfor forfølges af rappe.
17 One thousand shall flee at the threat of one. Ye shall flee at the threat of five, till ye are left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill.
Tusind skal fly for een, som truer; Flugten skal I tage for fem, som truer, til I kun er en Rest som Stangen på Bjergets Tinde, som Banneret oppe på Højen.
18 And therefore Jehovah will wait, that he may be gracious to you. And therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you, for Jehovah is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.
Derfor længes HERREN efter at vise eder Nåde, derfor står han op for at forbarme sig over eder. Thi Rettens Gud er HERREN; salige alle, der længes efter ham!
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. Thou shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to thee at the voice of thy cry. When he shall hear, he will answer thee.
Ja, du Folk i Zion, du, som bor i Jerusalem, lad ikke Gråden overmande dig! Nådig vil han vise dig Nåde, når du råber; så snart han hører dig, svarer han.
20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet thy teachers shall not be hidden anymore, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers.
Herren skal give eder Trængselsbrød og Fængselsdrik; men så skal din Vejleder ikke mere dølge sig, dine, Øjne skal skue din Vejleder;
21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
dine Ører skal høre det Ord bag ved dig: "Her er Vejen, I skal gå!" hver Gang I er ved at vige til højre eller venstre.
22 And ye shall defile the overlaying of thy graven images of silver, and the plating of thy molten images of gold. Thou shall cast them away as an unclean thing. Thou shall say to it, Get thee away.
Da skal du holde dine Sølvbilleders Overtræk og dine Guldbilleders Klædning for urene; du skal slænge dem bort som Skarn. "Herud!" skal du sige til dem.
23 And he will give the rain for thy seed, with which thou shall sow the ground, and bread of the increase of the ground, and it shall be fat and plenteous. In that day thy cattle shall feed in large pastures.
Da giver han Regn til Sæden, du, sår i din Jord; og Brødet, som din Jord bærer, skal være kraftigt og nærende. På hin Dag græsser dit Kvæg på vide Vange;
24 Likewise the oxen and the young donkeys that till the ground shall eat savory provender, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.
Okserne og Æslerne, der arbejder på Marken, skal æde saltet Blandfoder, renset med Kasteskovl og Fork.
25 And there shall be upon every lofty mountain, and upon every high hill, brooks and streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
På hvert højt Bjerg og hver knejsende Banke skal Kilder vælde frem med rindende Vand på det store Blodbads Dag, når Tårne falder.
26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah binds up the hurt of his people, and heals the stroke of their wound.
Månens Lys skal blive som Solens, og Solens Lys skal blive syvfold stærkere, som syv Dages Lys, på hin Dag da HERREN forbinder sit Folks Brud og læger dets slagne Sår.
27 Behold, the name of Jehovah comes from far, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire,
Se, HERRENs Navn kommer langvejsfra i brændende Vrede, med tunge Skyer; hans Læber skummer af Vrede, fortærende Ild er hans Tunge,
28 and his breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction. And a bridle that causes to err shall be in the jaws of the peoples.
hans Ånde som en rivende Strøm, der når til Halsen. Folkene ryster han i Undergangens Sold, lægger Vildelsens Bidsel i Folkeslags Mund.
29 Ye shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, as he who goes with a pipe to come to the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel.
Sang skal der være hos eder som i Natten, når Højtid går ind, en Hjertens Glæde som en Vandring til Fløjte mod HERRENs Bjerg, mod Israels Klippe.
30 And Jehovah will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the coming down of his arm with the indignation of his anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast and tempest and hailstones.
HERREN lader høre sin Højheds Røst og viser sin Arm, der slår ned med fnysende Vrede, ædende Lue, Skybrud, skyllende Regn og Hagl.
31 For through the voice of Jehovah the Assyrian shall be dismayed. With his rod he will smite him.
For HERRENs Røst bliver Assur ræd, med Kæppen slår han;
32 And every stroke of the appointed staff, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, shall be with the sound of tambourine and harps. And he will fight with them in battles with the brandishing of his arm.
hvert et Slag af Tugtelsens Stok, som HERREN lader falde på Assur, er til Paukers og Citres Klang; med Svingnings Kampe kæmper han mod det.
33 For a Topheth is prepared of old, yea, it is made ready for the king. He has made it deep and large. The pile of it is fire and much wood. The breath of Jehovah kindles it, like a stream of brimstone.
Thi for længst står et Alter rede mon det og er rejst for Molok? han gjorde dets Ildfang dybt og bredt, bragte Ild og Ved i Mængde; HERRENs Ånde sætter det i Brand som en Strøm af Svovl.
